Traditional hand-voiced fan-bracing makes this a nylon-string guitar which is the equal of any non-cutaway classical, but with uninterrupted access to the 19th fret! I use Spanish cedar for the neck instead of mahogany for lighter weight and a more classical response. While I usually make the neck 2-1/16" at the nut, I'm always happy to carve a narrower neck for steel-string players who want an easier switch to nylon.

My classicals feature a 16th fret body joint to place the bridge in the center of the lower bout, just like a traditional classical guitar. The thumb can stay behind the neck in correct classical playing position all the way to the 19th fret.

My Classical body size is also available as a Flamenco Model.
